    Wet Proof: Shari White — Photography, reprographics and representation with An Endless Supply

    The photography of Shari White is in focus for the debut issue of 'Wet Proof', an experimental new publication series by design studio, An Endless Supply. Robin Kirkham, co-founder and designer, spoke with Skate Bylines about how can reprographics serve skate photography, media representation and the fun of "learning by doing and doing so in public." We also had Natalie Porter of Womxn Skate History and author of Girl 'Gangs, Zines, and Powerslides: A History of Badass Women Skateboarders' speak on the value of such initiatives. A version of this story is published in written form at Skate Bylines where you can also get a good look at 'Wet Proof', White's photography and Kirkham's work: https://skatebylines.com/2025/10/22/an-endless-supply-wet-proof-shari-white-robin-kirkham/ This story was written and editing by Farran Golding with copy editing and fact checking by Mike Munzenrider.

  3. Dylan Rieder: Style Was His Soul

    Dylan Rieder: Style Was His Soul

    "What if, I mean to say, Greg Hunt succeeded?" asks the author Kyle Beachy. "Suppose Hunt managed to make a movie that conveyed Dylan Rieder as he was. Suppose that, by knowing his friend so well, and going out shooting with him and editing that footage and presenting it as he did, Hunt achieved that most impossible thing—gave us a way of knowing another person without ever meeting him. Suppose he successfully captured style, and suppose that style was, as Cocteau had it, his soul." In a heartfelt essay on the life and legacy of Dylan Rieder, Kyle Beachy looks at style, skateboarding and how skateboarders get to know those they spend so much time watching and admiring from a distance. Edited and produced by Farran Golding A version of this story was originally published as ‘The Dylan Period’ (2020) excerpted from the book The Most Fun Thing: Dispatches From A Skateboard Life (© 2021 by Kyle Beachy), reprinted with permission of Grand Central Publishing, all rights reserved Portrait of Dylan Rieder by Anthony Acosta.

  6. A Puzzle of Andrew Reynolds with Kyle Beachy

    A Puzzle of Andrew Reynolds with Kyle Beachy

    In the midst of struggling to trying to write a novel about skateboarding the author Kyle Beachy decided simply to write about a person he admired: Andrew Reynolds. He saw Reynolds as someone who possessed an uncanny cultural presence with the ability to unify skateboarding opinion not only through respect but, importantly, the acknowledgement than no-one would argue the frontside flip is not Andrew Reynolds’ trick. However, in the wake of Emerica's 'Stay Gold', Beachy also saw Reynolds as as perfect model of an adult that a skateboarder could achieve. Adulthood being “A crisis that you also, if you persist long enough at this most fun thing, will have to confront,” writes Beachy in his essay, ‘A Very Large Puzzle: On Andrew Reynolds’. The piece published by Jenkem Magazine in 2012 would become a foundational text (and inform the title) of what became his second novel, 'The Most Fun Thing: Dispatches From A Skateboard Life'. Published in 2020 by Grand Central, the book is a collection of Beachy’s writings on skateboarding spanning throughout the 2010s. On today’s show, Beachy discusses writing that formative essay on Andrew Reynolds and who The Boss is today. Hosted, edited and produced by Farran Golding Timestamps and show notes: 00:00 Introduction to the episode and Kyle Beachy 1:27 Kyle’s history with Andrew Reynolds 2:10 Kyle’s studies, journalism, career and first novel 3:20 Kyle’s second novel and early skate articles 3:50 ‘A Very Large Puzzle: On Andrew Reynolds’ 5:00 Interlude: Stella Reynolds 5:15 Sports Writing vs Skate Writing 6:45 Reynolds of the 2010s 7:26 Kyle’s History with Emerica 8:15 Stay Gold 9:08 Being moved by skateboarding 9:47 Skateboarding journalism in the early 2010s 11:12 Writing the Reynolds essay 12:36 Age and thoughtfulness 14:55 Heath Kirchart 17:05 'The Most Fun Thing' 20:37 Rooting for Reynolds 22:21 Revisiting Reynolds 24:43 Baker Has A Wholesomeness 26:02 'BHADW2' fundraiser 29:09 Outro

    The Civic Center of New York City Skateboarding with Ian Browning

    The Lower East Side Skatepark ("L.E.S.") set a precedent for skatepark construction across the boroughs of New York City after it opened on Go Skateboarding Day 2012. Describing it as the "civic centre" of NYC's skate scene, journalist Ian Browning explored how it came to be and where skateparks sit within the ecosystem of New York's municipality, in a Quartersnacks story that coincided with the tenth anniversary of L.E.S. published in 2022. On our first Skate Bylines podcast, Ian shared how the story came together and we explored how New York's significance to skate culture grew exponentially over the past decade.
